My Take
Tammy Faye remains one of the most fascinating figures I have encountered in American pop-religious history. A singer and televangelist from frozen International Falls, Minnesota, she co-built an empire and a Christian theme park, then watched it all collapse in scandal. What stays with me is not the spectacle but her resilience and her warmth; even disgraced, she kept her faith and her famously emotional candor. Her heavy makeup became a punchline, yet beneath it was someone strikingly unguarded. She sang, she preached, she sold, she endured until her death in 2007. I find her messy honesty oddly moving.
